Screenshot of error showing after entering node

Description of problem:
If I try to download any package using npm, it will corrupt the nodejs. It will only work after I reinstall nodejs. I tried installing typescript as global package and also tried angular/cli. 

It is giving me error "Cannot load externalized builtin: "internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer:/usr/lib/node_modules/cjs-module-lexer/lexer.js"."



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1. nodejs  x86_64  1:20.12.0-1.fc39
2. nodejs-cjs-module-lexer  noarch  1.2.3-2.fc39
3. nodejs-docs              noarch  1:20.12.0-1.fc39
4. nodejs-full-i18n         x86_64  1:20.12.0-1.fc39
5. nodejs-libs              x86_64  1:20.12.0-1.fc39
6. nodejs-npm               x86_64  1:10.5.0-1.20.12.0.1.fc39
7. nodejs-undici            noarch  6.11.1-2.fc39



How reproducible:
Happens everytime I install a package. Tried reinstalling nodejs, updating fedora 39. Still same issue



Steps to Reproduce:
1. `sudo npm i -g @angular/cli` or `sudo npm i -g typescript`
2. `node`



Actual results:

Cannot load externalized builtin: "internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer:/usr/lib/node_modules/cjs-module-lexer/lexer.js".

This is likely a kernel io_uring bug.

See <https://github.com/nodejs/cjs-module-lexer/issues/92#issuecomment-2066052271>.

I did try to put env variable still facing issues. Do you think changing to fedora 40 will fix it?
Comment 3 Zephyr Lykos 2024-04-20 16:07:26 UTC 
Hmm, seems this is another issue.
With `UV_USE_IO_URING=1` the former io_uring shenanigans are still reproducible in rawhide.
Comment 4 Zephyr Lykos 2024-04-20 16:28:47 UTC 
OK, I figured this out.

You are running npm as root and your npmrc sets `prefix=/usr`, which overrides `/usr/lib/node_modules` to a folder instead of a symlink.
Please don't install npm packages globally, at least not installing to `/usr/lib`.

Issue is that I need to install `@angular/cli` . If I dont install it globally then `ng` command is not working

Things I did
- `npm init`
- `npm i @angular/cli`

When I run ng 
- `bash: /usr/bin/ng: No such file or directory`

Also I have tried the same after installing fedora 40
